      Had this phone for 3 months and I love it, but I have two problems with it and I wondered if anyone could just tell me if they had anyother problems like this, and if I should take it back.

      Problem Number 1: The phone said it didn't have a SIM card in it. Restarted the phone, and it worked OK, but it's happened a few times now

      Problem Number 2: When I tried to watch a previously recorded video, it became very pixelated, and green squares came up on the screen. Then I took a video, and tried to play it, where I got a Green and Blue screen. Then the display went blank for a few seconds, and I tried to turn it on. On the third try it turned on, and it came up with my home screen, where it searched ( and this time it found the) SIM card.

      I just don't if I should send it back. It's covered by a manafactuers warenty, and I haven't done anything to it, I just wonder if it has anyingto do with the OS, and if new firmware can be installed to stop this.

      Otherwise I really love this phone. It looks nicer than the N95, it takes better pictures ( in my Opinion ), and it has a great screen. I especially love the touch buttons, and I think it is well worth it's price tag. I have owned a N95, and I liked it, but not as much. Some people have been saying the paint on the blue one is very bad, but it's been good on mine.

      Thank-you in advance to everyone who replies. You have been a great help.

          that really seems strange... Is your phone unbranded?

                @ Awei

                mate, i own d green 1.
                d blue one is not as good as u think.
                i've also seen my friend's blue 1.
                it looks really bad!
                d silver on d side seems like grey.
                n d colour wears off afr a few mnths, like mdz said.
                trust me on dis 1, go 4 green 1!

                            hi guys, just want to let you know that the latest firmware is R1EA037.
                            Now, no more lag from the phone, browsing media files is much faster.
                            Also, the battery life seems to be fine compare than before which is drain very quick.
                            I love it, GO SE!!!

                              Hey, hey, hey, you fighters. I must say that i had all of this fones, N95, N82, K850. And one thing is sure and even proved in many tests. K850 makes best pictures, Nokia makes best video. K850 is a cam-fone and the nokias are real business and multimedia fones. So, they are more complete (see GPs and Wlan). Its a question what u need and what u like. Personally i dont like Symbian S60 fones, but the N82 was a fantastic fone like N95. K850 is also a wonderful fone and i like the Java software, but it lacks of WiFi. Gps i dont care, but Wifi i am raly missing.

                                    IN a nut shell the K850 is a monster phone with excellent features and brilliant pict quality.

                                    And no none of the N range can come close!
